Megan - Registered Dental Assistant

Megan is a northeast Iowa native. She grew up in Denver, IA and is a new resident to the Des Moines area. She has been in the dental field since 2016.

Megan loves spoiling her lovely niece and her pup, Cash. After playing a couple years of collegiate softball, she now enjoys spending time in the summer playing slow pitch softball and sand volleyball with friends.

Angela - Registered dental Hygienist

Angela graduated from DMACC with an Associates of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene in 1996 after working in dentistry as a certified dental assistant for 10 years. Her passion and interest in dentistry started as a child when she would make her little sister play dental patient with her! Angela's favorite part of being a dental hygienist is educating patients about their oral health and seeing the "light" turn on when they understand how to take control of their health.

When she's not at the dental office, Angela enjoys spending time with her husband, kids and 5 grandsons. She also loves her goats and chickens, her flower beds, birdwatching, and riding her motorcycle. In the winter, you'll catch her binge watching Netflix or reading a good book!
